Global Buckling Simulation and Design of a Novel Concrete-Filled Corrugated Steel Tubular Column

A novel concrete-filled corrugated steel tubular (CFCST) column composed of corner steel bars and corrugated steel plates filled with concrete has been proposed recently. Columns with large height-to-width ratios are commonly used in practice, where they are often subjected to eccentric compression....

description A novel concrete-filled corrugated steel tubular (CFCST) column composed of corner steel bars and corrugated steel plates filled with concrete has been proposed recently. Columns with large height-to-width ratios are commonly used in practice, where they are often subjected to eccentric compression. However, there is a lack of research on their stability behavior under such conditions. This study presented a numerical analysis to evaluate the stability performance of CFCST columns under eccentric compression, with eccentricity ratios ranging from 0 to 2.0 and height-to-width ratios between 10 and 30. The numerical results indicated that the <i>N–M</i> interaction curve became less convex as the height-to-width ratio increased. Concrete strength and column width had a greater impact on the stability performance of the CFCST columns at low eccentricity ratios, while steel strength and steel bar width were more influential at high eccentricity ratios. The comparison between numerical and calculation results specified in AISC 360 and GB 50936 showed that both of them were unsuitable to estimate the stability performance of the column under eccentric compression. Finally, a formula was fitted, and the error was basically within 15%, which offered significantly improved accuracy over current design codes.
